Gwinnett Jackson CR WPCP - Peachtree Corners, Georgia Wastewater Treatment Plant

Gwinnett Jackson CR WPCP is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Peachtree Corners, Gwinnett County, Georgia, United States. The facility serves a population of about 18,756 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category for US wastewater infrastructure. As a US-based plant, it operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program established by the Clean Water Act. This regulatory framework requires permits that set limits on pollutant discharges to protect water quality. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Chattahoochee River basin. The Chattahoochee River flows southward through Georgia, providing drinking water and supporting diverse aquatic life, before joining the Flint River to form the Apalachicola River, which empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The plant's operations contribute to protecting downstream water quality in this ecologically important river system.

The plant discharges into the Chattahoochee River basin, a major waterway in Georgia that flows through the Piedmont region and provides habitat for diverse fish and wildlife species. The river supports recreational activities and serves as a drinking water source for downstream communities. Ultimately, the Chattahoochee joins the Flint River to form the Apalachicola River, which flows into the Apalachicola Bay in the Gulf of Mexico, an ecologically sensitive estuary known for its oyster fisheries and migratory bird habitat.
